Toronto, Canada's largest city, is best discovered neighbourhood by neighbourhood. The skyscraper-studded Downtown is crowned by the CN Tower and the Entertainment District, which also includes Ripley's Aquarium and major sports venues. To the east, the Distillery District, a fully pedestrian former Victorian distillery complex of red brick, houses galleries, boutiques and cafés along cobbled lanes. More centrally, Kensington Market unfolds its bohemian, multicultural atmosphere of vintage shops, murals and global cuisines. The St. Lawrence Market, in Old Town, gathers more than a hundred and twenty vendors. The Lake Ontario waterfront and the ferries to the Toronto Islands offer fresh air and a superb view of the skyline. The city is wonderfully diverse, welcoming and easy to enjoy on foot or by transit.
Casa Loma, the 1914 castle, stood in for Professor Xavier's school for mutants in “X-Men” (2000).
The CN Tower, finished in 1976, reigned for 32 years as the world's tallest free-standing structure until the Burj Khalifa.
At Carousel Bakery in St. Lawrence Market, order the peameal bacon sandwich, the city's official signature dish.
Summers are hot and humid, winters cold and snowy: June to September is the most pleasant time to explore on foot, while autumn brings beautiful colours. The public transit network (subway, streetcars, buses) covers the city well; a Presto card makes getting around easy. Tip: take the ferry to the Toronto Islands in good weather for the finest view of the skyline. As for connectivity, mobile 4G/5G coverage is excellent across the city, the subway is being progressively connected, and free wifi is widespread in cafés, malls and public libraries.
